I still say the time it takes is the same as the old way.

It might be the same time, but now you have to spend the whole time clicking.
previously you clicked the fields and then could just keep an eye on it but were not required to stare at the smae screen clicking away

I was consistently losing XP's, and posted my issues on the Forum, but this change is worse.

I had one worker harvesting and plowing my farm today, and her attempts to speed up resulted in numerous "freezing" episodes. With over 880 fields on my one farm, slowing the harvesting/plowing process makes the game very boring both for the worker and the owner who is waiting to plant.

I will try using the harvester and plower to see if that helps, but I predict there will be far fewer farmhands looking for jobs in the MP.

I usually dont post but this time I had to. This is horrible... I now hate playing. I dont have the time to do this. It is to slow and I haave fast dsl. You have ruined the game. I have always loved this game... but i dont even waant to play now.... CHANGE IT BACK!!!

I used to be able to harvest and plow a field with intense speed and accurancy. Now, I have to click each plot one at a time while my avatar moves from plot to plot while I click. I can click faster than than the avatar can move, but now I cannot harvest that fast. It is slower than before, it is harder to follow, and my screens are bouncing around to keep the avatar in the center of the screen, not where I want to be working. This is the most stupid upgrade I've seen in this game. Put it back where it was, it wasn't broken so there was no need to fixt it.

I as well as others do not like the new format. It is annoying and frustrating. it takes us twice as long to complete a farm. The old way I can harvest a farm twice as fast. Do not like the new way

What is that old saying?? One bad apple spoils the whole bunch (or something like that ) So... farmers hire 10 or more to harvest and plow and some will "hog" up the whole farm and avatars will run into each other ( well ouch ). I truly dont think this new change is the solution. Seriously folks. If FT is trying to make people get along in this world...they need to just give it up ! Some are just like that. I personnally, will just thank the farmer that hired me and leave the farm. This new change is a bad idea,,,plain and simple. For those who like it...good for you. For those of us who dont...oh well..love it or leave it. I also have the two farms and am at level 60. But it's not worth all this. And if we think the creators of FT will miss us...think again. We will be replaced. Lots of luck to all the farmers !!!!!

Hi. I only found that when I lost coins or xp points is to leave before my lil peson caught up. If I stayed until my lil person had caught up and harvested or plowed all the plots then I didnt lose my coins or xp points when I went back to the marketplace or my own farm.

I have been addicted to FT since I started in late August. I, like some others, am a fast "clicker". I try not to bump others when hired, but am constantly run over by rude players. These changes have hurt more than they have helped. I tried four different jobs this evening, and on everyone I got no coins, nor xps - "already done" is the message that was repeated to me over and over again, even though I intentionally start in a corner where there are no other workers.
I am respectfully requesting that the changes be rescinded, or I, along with the other 6 players in my household will no longer be playing.
P.S. I am level 54 with two farms.

Well I like many became addicted to Farm Town...today was like someone threw the brakes on, I lost more xp's today than ever because not knowing this change was coming I left a large plow job because I felt like I was hindering the job as I tried to fix the problem. I have tried 2 more jobs since then and I am done! I have 2 farms and both have 2nd farms and had a blast being a nice and neat farmer, as soon as the fields are done and plowed, I am quiting until things improve instead of taking a step back to the beginning. Way to much frustration to mess with, byr my farm friends, see you around...oh and who ever made these changes...go to the market and read the complaints, lots and lots of frustration from everyone!
